The result is astonishing, charged with eroticism full of tenderness, sensitive to the subjects: sexual violence does not exist chez Cadinot. The colours explode, the models - all stunning, naturally - share with us their stories, captured by a lens in the briefest of moments. Ultimately, everything comes back to the same message as his films: Cadinot wants us to know that all of the male body is sublime, and that the love between two men is beautiful, warm and tender.
An extraordinary collection of images that you may have already discovered in Barcelona, kindly donated to us by Jean-Daniel Cadinot for the Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in Brussels.
